Controllers lost contact with Newark airplanes for 30 seconds last week, USDOT says reut.rs/3GAqXse

I don't understand how the Times can never determine whether Trump is lying but can say with certainty when he is joking.

Can FOTUS actually order a military parade on his birthday? Does Congress have to approve?

What the U.S. government is doing in relation to public health is so irrational and harmful that it’s almost impossible to process it. They are lying about how vaccines are tested. They are lying about vaccines containing “aborted fetus debris”. This is public health malpractice.

"Congratulations on your college degrees and enjoy the manual labor jobs" is absolutely fucking wild to hear our of anyone, let alone the President of the United States

A Haitian woman who was among those held in allegedly inhumane conditions has died after more than 10 weeks in immigration custody. At least six others have died in ICE custody in fiscal 2025, which began in October, ICE data shows.

Katsas voting this way is big news... and very unexpected.

New in PN: Arresting judges is a 5-alarm escalation "It’s not just that Dugan was arrested, but how she was arrested. The whole point was to cause a scene. There’s no allegation she was attempting to evade arrest, but the FBI still forced a sitting judge to do a perp walk at her place of work."

Streaming CBC coverage for the Canadian election and, much like when I watch the BBC, I am almost crying with relief to see proper journalism. The contrast to the highly-produced, pro-power sycophantic, vapid political "analysis" provided by news networks and cables in the US is crystal clear.

Congressional Republicans are planning to cut health care to pay for tax breaks to billionaires. These Medicaid cuts will kill tens of thousands of Americans PER YEAR. #HandsOffOurMedicaid Pass it on.

In medieval times, monstrous tyrants would put the decapitated heads on their enemies on pikes. Today since they're being disappeared to die elsewhere, the same types of monsters put photos of them on the lawn of the White House. That's the framing the media should be doing for this.

Donald Trump keeps losing in court. That's why he's lashing out at judges who go against his authoritarian agenda — even going as far as to have them arrested. His regime is starting to crack bit by bit. Keep up the pressure. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Isn’t this just a little bit ironic? 🤔

Hegseth is treating our national security like a joke. His actions are incredibly reckless and endanger the lives of our troops. He must resign now. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/22/u...

•••••BREAKING••••• Army Gen. Michael Erik Kurilla — who leads U.S. Central Command — used a secure U.S. government system to send Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth classified information regarding Houthi attack plans that Hegseth promptly turned around and leaked on his personal phone via…

So on brand for this GOP sending an election denier to dismantle the voice of democracy around the world. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

How does this autism tracking eugenics database square with HIPPA?

This is an enormous theft—not just privatizing a government function with a worse and more expensive for-profit substitute, but also a massive government financial data heist—and on the other side of it everyone needs to end up broke and imprisoned to deter them and others from doing it again.

📌Fully two thirds of the Republicans in the Senate warned us in 2016 what a monster Trump is … Incredible how weak, anti-American and subservient they are, it really is.

Has Trump said a single word about this?

"'DOGE coming into the building with access to systems prior to an investigation is a major red flag — what are they doing now? Someone needs to step in, isolate the systems, and conduct an investigation,' said Andrew Bakaj of the nonprofit Whistleblower Aid, who is Berulis's attorney."

“One of the top MS-13 members”? This woman is an officer of the court and the Attorney General of the United States. She knows that she wields immense power and responsibility. Yet here she is on national TV, making baseless claims about a guy her boss wrongly sent to a gulag in El Salvador.

I’M GOING TO KEEP POSTING THIS STORY UNTIL ANDRY IS FREED: Gay Venezuelan makeup artist sent to Salvadoran prison after a disgraced cop's report Andry Hernandez Romero sought shelter in the U.S. because he was persecuted as a gay man, one of the "particular social groups" allowed to claim asylum.

Judge Xinis in Tuesday eve order homes in on key issue: "Abrego Garcia appears to remain inexplicably detained in CECOT." She cites text in written agreement with El Salvador showing US control: That detainees are kept in CECOT “pending the United States’ decision on their long-term disposition.”

In case anyone was wondering

@browneyegirlhi.bsky.social Take a look at this : Let me take a K troche when nobody’s watching. WTF!!

Wire services including Reuters and Bloomberg News will no longer hold a permanent slot in the small pool of reporters who cover Trump, the White House said, as it moves to exert greater control over who gets to ask him questions and report in real time reut.rs/3EcEFAK

Instead of restoring access to The Associated Press newswire, as required by a federal judge, the Trump administration is removing the wire position in the daily press corps rotation altogether.

Regarding the wealthy people who have entered positions of power in the US in an interview with CNN’s Abby Phillip, Melinda French Gates said, “I think we are seeing some of their true personalities come out in the last few years. I think this has always been in the undertone of lots of people.”

What’s crazy is that this lie has mutated from “there are 20 million undocumented immigrants,” already false, to “all 20 million were let in by Biden in four years,” which is even more deranged.

vance is a detestable liar and an open enemy of the constitution. the central load bearing factual claim here is completely false and even if it wasn’t the constitution contains two explicit guarantees of due process

The refusal to provide people due process before shipping them off to foreign prisons is criminal and intolerable. It must not be normalized. Everyone who believes in justice and America needs to speak up now.

Karoline Leavitt is a liar, propagandist & accomplice to a criminal regime. “There is never going to be a world in which [Kilmar Abrego Garcia] is going to live a peaceful life in MD because he is a foreign terrorist & MS-13 gang member,” she said w/o evidence about a man who's committed no crime.

"Human trafficking" now? That's a new one. The longer they leave Kílmar Ábrego García to rot in the CECOT, the longer his fake rap sheet gets. He has one arrest, for loitering. But within a week or two they'll be saying he's the Zodiac Killer.

Leavitt: "Abrego Garcia was a foreign terrorist. He is an MS-13 gang member. He was engaged in human trafficking." (The White House hasn't provided evidence for any of these claims ... )

AOC: When he talks about rapists and criminals, he should look in the mirror

Hundreds of scholars have had their visas revoked and dozens have been detained. What’s exceptional about Öztürk’s case is that her detention was caught on camera. What’s scariest, immigration lawyers say, is how little is known about all the others.

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.” This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent. He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.
